Regarding 8v8 Feast ques

[Sirius-Khan]

i tend to get several Seal Rock games in the am. Whereas 8v8 will tell me the avg wait time is 23minutes but will never pop. Ive fallen asleep in que and wake up hours later to finally getting in.

Hello Aviars,

I hope SE would stop using your 4v4 rank in determining who you are paired up with. And no it's not because I believe that as a highly ranked player that I am upset being paired with newer people, I don't expect anything more from playing the noncompetitive version of a pvp game mode.

The thing is that if I want to chill and play a different job and try to play 8v8, the ques are horrendous, because the system tries so hard to make the teams 'equal' by using the ratings of a separate game mode. As I have seen a majority of people who play 8v8 feast are either low bronze or not placed, which makes players like me makes it really hard for the system to pair teams up equally.

It is just frusterating. 8v8 ques should not be affected by 4v4 ratings.

I just wanted to clarify that your 4 on 4 solo/light party rankings do not affect matching for the 8 on 8 mode of the Feast.

so, it's just die because players dont queue for 8vs8, pvp content die so fast :/

It amazes me that 8v8 doesnt pop. I mean its has no GC restriction and you can go in with a friend and not deal with folk crying.

OP snip

Are you positive that rank is a factor in 8v8 match making because

(I should've taken a photo of my own team but this was awhile ago):





Pretty sure at that time I wasn't even Bronze. Kyani may have been but I know we didn't have anyone higher than silver on our team.

But 2 Plats and a gold vs. a largely unranked team makes me think that 1)SE's matchmaking system blows , 2) rank is not considered in 8v8, or 3) 1&2

Edit: Oh, dev post confirmed but yeah...

I've started to queue for 8v8 and Seal Rock at the same time. Usually one is popping, while the other is dead, so I just let fate decide. If I only pick one, the queue tends to go on for a looooooong time. Both together, I get something every 15-30 minutes, averaging roughly 50/50 between Seal Rock and 8v8.

It's still a long time for a queue, but it's better than 3h+ with no pop (like Frontline Roulette) or 1h+ (like queuing only 8v8). I'm Immortal Flames and Tank, if that makes any difference.

I assumed it did because it would normally pair a plat and fresh players verse a full bronze and silver team. I assumed the game did so, guess I was wrong.
